Clothing Brands which are hidden gems!

I'm having a wardrobe revamp and some careful Vinted buying is becoming a cost effective way to reinvent my style.
I'd love to hear about some brands which I may not know about, particularly if they are not on the high street, which I can ferret out to update myself.
Some things I look for are :
Quality and longevity
Styling - I quite like brands with some originality
Sustainability- even though I'm buying secondhand.
Largely informal clothes as I wfh and go out OUT much these days.

What have been your hidden gems ?

In November I bought three jumpers on Vinted by Eileen Fisher (all from the same seller) which have been fantastic value. I have virtually lived in these jumpers all winter. They wash well, are so cozy and feel so comfortable, definitely a quality buy. However, they are not particularly original in terms of style. I had never heard of the brand before and would definitely consider buying other items.

Thought. All natural fabrics
BAM for fitness wear.

So funny I was looking at an Eileen Fisher top last week on Vinted but was unsure!
I get looking again!

Disappointed not to see Kemi Telford on that women’s list. I have quite a few of her dresses and skirts. I feel amazing when I wear them. Dress up or down, elasticated waists, pockets. Also have a few FWP by Rae sweats that I bought in the days when Kat Farmer had her blog.

Good point about KT.

Not relevant to the list above but if you haven’t looked at

Community Clothing

you should, @GrimDamnFanjo.
